Think of comics and many people will remember the newspaper strips and superhero comics of their childhood. Others may remember the independent scene of underground comic book writers and alternative
genre comics…

Comics are finally becoming recognised as a literary and visual art form by not
only other artists and writers but by the media and most important of
all the wider community of readers.

The Lair Comics

Comics as a genre and a medium have seen an incredible rise and fall from popularity. Their sophistication has grown from simple newspaper strips of Superheroes, for example The Green Lantern, Superman, Batman and X-Men or ‘funnies’ such as The Beano or the Dandy to such complex and powerful graphic novels as Maus, The
Killing Joke, Sandman and The Dark Knight.

In the UK we have an incredible pedigree of penciling, inking, colouring and of course, writing talent; from Alan Moore (Swampthing, V for Vendetta), to Warren Ellis (Planetary, Hellblazer) and many other people in the UK who have contributed to British Comics including The Eagle, Warlord, and 2000 A.D.

Comic book storytelling in the UK has a strong pedigree and a history that can be traced as far back as the
social and political satirical engravings of William Hogarth.

Using comic strips or comic books to illustrate your business’s service or solutions delivers an entertaining and memorable marketing piece. However, comics can also be used to provide training material for staff.
